- Importance: The number of people living in unaffordable housing (relative to income) is projected to continue increasing as housing cost inflation outpaces incomes in the US. Although reproductive-aged women have disproportionately high housing costs, particularly around the time of childbirth, data on associations between housing costs and maternal health and the role of publicly supported…November 2022Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Healthy Housing
- This report examines the impact of the lack of a national paid family leave program on maternal health disparities in the U.S. It highlights how the absence of paid leave contributes to poor health outcomes, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities and low-income women. The analysis, based on 2020 data from the CDC’s Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), reveals that White…November 2022Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Depression, Policy and Practice

- Health care organizations are increasingly making equitable care a strategic priority. Obstetric care represents a major area that needs improvement, as there are long-standing significant disparities in care and high rates of maternal morbidity and mortality. Artificial intelligence (AI) heralds the potential to improve care by employing novel approaches for prevention, risk mitigation,…December 2021Adverse Birth Outcomes, Maternal Morbidity and Mortality
- In this research note, I estimate one component of the mortality impact of denying all wanted induced abortions in the United States. This estimate quantifies the magnitude of an increase in pregnancy-related deaths that would occur solely because of the greater mortality risk of continuing a pregnancy rather than having a legal induced abortion. Using published statistics on pregnancy-related…December 2021Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Abortion Access
- The United States has the worst maternal health outcomes among high-income nations – despite spending $111 billion yearly on maternal and infant care. People of color, particularly Black and Indigenous birthing people† and parents, bear the brunt of this fundamental failing. Today, there is more recognition than ever of the influence of structural forces on maternal and infant health and a…December 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Advocacy
- Importance Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) is a major risk factor for maternal mortality, yet little is known about geographic variation in SMM or factors associated with geographical variation at the local level. Municipal governments incur substantial expenditures providing services that are an essential part of residents’ lives, but associations between municipal expenditures and SMM have not…November 2021Maternal Morbidity and Mortality
- Maternal safety refers to the safety of a person during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period. Transitions through pregnancy and birth can pose complex safety challenges, and normal physiologic changes can result in signs and symptoms that make it difficult to recognize and diagnose serious illness. Additionally, patients may not receive timely or adequate information about their health…October 2021Maternal Morbidity and Mortality
